DESJARDINS J.A.

[1]      We are all of the opinion that there is no reason to intervene in the decision of the judge of the Tax Court of Canada. The judge instructed himself correctly on the law. Moreover, it was open to him to draw the inferences he reached in respect of the facts.

[2]      Accordingly, the application for judicial review will be dismissed.
